Dear Student
Thank you for choosing our school to study Chinese.
Welcome to Beijing, the host city of Olympic Games,
2008! EF was named Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
official Language Training Service Supplier, training
5,000 Chinese citizens, including members of the
Olympic Committee, judges and volunteers.
As the capital of China, Beijing offers the advantages
of many historical and cultural attractions and a bus-
tling city atmosphere. The school is a bridge, helping
you to explore the real Beijing and to get to know the
people behind the language.
As a Pekingese, I am very happy to welcome you to
Beijing and to help you while you’re studying here.
Whether this is you’re first trip to Beijing or your fifth,
you are sure to enjoy your new life. Don’t worry if you
cannot speak any Chinese - everyone is willing to
help you so you will make progress day by day.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions before departure.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Annie Zhang, School Director
EF International Language Center,
Beijing
3 Beijing, China
2. Welcome to Beijing, ChinaTo study in China is demanding, but also very
rewarding. The People’s republic of China is
still a communist country, but has opened up
economically in the last 30 years.
Beijing city has shifted location several times in
the past several thousand years, but the spatial
dimensions have remained fairly constant
over time. The present city centre is 39°56‘
N, 116°20‘ E, at an elevation of 44.38 metres
above sea level, the northwestern corner rising
a mere 10 metres above the southeast. As
capital of China, Beijing is a bustling city, offer-
ing the advantage of many historical and cul-
tural attractions, including the Forbidden City,
the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace,
Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China and
the Ming Tombs.
3. Weather WatchBeijing has a continental monsoon climate
commonly found in the temperate zone. In
winter, cold, dry winds blow out of Siberia and
Mongolia in the northwest; in summer, warm,
moist air currents from the southeast take over.
The coldest month in Beijing is January, with
an average temperature of 4.7 °C. The hottest
month is July, with an average of 26.1°C. Rapid
temperature increases in the spring occur ,
but windless days in that season are wonder-
fully pleasant. Autumn, though short-lived, is a
concentrated stretch of clear, crisp days and
patchwork coloured trees.
4. Travel & Transfer serviceArriving
Beijing International Airport (PEK) is situated 17
miles (28km) north of Beijing. Local time is GMT
+8. Travelling time to the city is about an hour.
Prior to arrival (for all students)
At least two weeks before your arrival you must
inform the EF office of the exact details of your
flight (airline, flight number, date and time) – this
is especially important if you will be using the
transfer service.
Transfer service
Arriving at a busy airport in a foreign city can be
confusing. EF offers a one-way transfer service
from the airport to your accommodation for an
additional fee. We highly recommend that you
take advantage of this service.
When you arrive, if you have booked the trans-
fer service, please pass through the baggage
claim and customs area and look for airport
greeter who will be carrying an EF sign with
your name. When you see the greeter, please
introduce yourself .
Please be aware that other students will be
arriving on the same day and you may have to
wait up to an hour for other students to arrive
before you leave the airport.
If you are going to arrive late, if you have a
change in schedule or cannot find the EF
greeter please call the EF emergency num-
ber: Mobile:+86-13501259951, Annie Zhang,
School Director.
If you cannot find the EF greeter, please do not
take a taxi until you have waited at least 60 min-
utes and have called the EF emergency number.
5. School InformationThe Facility
EF is located in the heart of downtown Beijing.
Our new school offers modern facilities along
with a computer room, equipped with educa-
tional and pronunciation software, textbooks and
dictionaries. Students have access to email and
Internet.
Staff
All our teachers are highly qualified and are
certified with professional designations and
high academic achievement. They have at least
finished Bachelor’s degrees and can communi-
cate in English.
6. AcademicsThe academic programme offers students
the ability to study the Chinese language and
4 Beijing, China
culture for as long and with as much intensity
as suits you.
First day of school
You will start at 9:30 am on your first day of
school. First, you will take a language place-
ment test and then, you will have a school
orientation. During the orientation you will get
information and tips about your new life in
Beijing, receive a class timetable and you will
go on a walking tour of Tiananmen Square and
the Wangfujing shopping street. There will be
free coffee and tea.
Attendance
You are expected to attend ALL classes and
to complete ALL class assignments. To receive
an EF Course Certificate you must have 80%
attendance.
University of International Business & Econom-
ics Beijing (UIBE)
If you can pass the HSK exam, we will recom-
mend you to the university UIBE.
Special Interest Courses (SPIN)
General and Intensive courses include a num-
ber of special interest class options. After the
initial placement test, you will have the chance
to specify your preferences for these special
interest classes. Some of these classes require
intermediate or advanced Chinese proficiency.
Also, a minimum number of participants are
required for each special interest class to take
place. The Director of Studies will discuss
your particular needs and wishes with you. All
General and Intensive courses include special
classes on phonetics and additional Intensive
Language practice.
Examples of SPINs:
z Chinese Martial Arts
z Pronunciation Skills
z Calligraphy*
*Please note: students selecting these classes
will pay a small additional fee for materials.
Course books
As part of your academic program, you’ll be
expected to buy the books and classroom
materials that you will use in class. The exact
number of books that you’ll need is determined
by your academic level, progress and choice of
special interest classes. If you wish to buy ad-
ditional books you may need more money. The
books you buy are yours to keep, write in and
take home with you for future reference.
7. Accommodation & MealsHomestay
Many of the customs you observe will be very
different from those you are used to. The family
routine and the food you eat may also be dif-
ferent from at home.
Before you leave your home country, it is
advised that you let your homestay hosts know
the date and estimated time of your arrival to
ensure they are home when you arrive. Your
average travel time from your homestay to
school is about 60 minutes.
Your homestay hosts will provide and change
your towels and sheets for you. You are re-
sponsible for washing your own clothes.
Meals in a homestay
Your homestay hosts will provide breakfast and
dinner each day and all meals on the week-
ends when you are at home. Please be sure to
call your hosts if you are going to be late or if
you are not going to be home for a meal.
You can buy lunch at the school canteen and
purchase snacks and drinks throughout the day.
8. Money MattersSpending money
Depending on your lifestyle, we recommend
that you bring between RMB300-RMB500
per week excluding excursions. The amount
you bring will depend on how much travel-
ling, shopping and eating in restaurants you
plan to do during your visit to Beijing. Please
remember that you will be responsible for
some meals.
For transportation, you can buy a Public Travel
Card which you deposit money into. This can
be used on buses, subways and taxis.
Credit cards
Credit cards can be used in big shopping
centres and restaurants but not in small shops.
We suggest you bring small sums of cash with
you for your convenience.
There are a lot of ATMs scattered around
the city, to withdraw RMB cash from. Some
machines have lower cash limits - look on
the machines for guidelines. Visa, American
Express, and Master Card are recognised by
most ATMs.
Banks
The safest place to keep your money is in a
bank. You can exchange major foreign curren-
cies at most banks and hotels. The exchange
rate is usually more expensive in hotels than
in banks. It is a good idea to open a bank
account if you are staying for longer than three
months.
9. Telephones, fax & InternetTelephone
All long distance calls must be collect calls,
charged to the person you are calling or
charged to a prepaid telephone card, which
can be purchased at the EF office.
Fax
All EF schools use fax machines to conduct
business. The school will charge a small fee to
send long-distance faxes. There are also places
close to the school that send faxes and charge
for the time used. Ask the front desk for direc-
tions to the nearest fax machine you can use.
Internet
The school is equipped with more than 100
computers available for email, school work and
access to the Internet.
10. Health Care & InsuranceForeign visitors can access medical and
hospital care in China. The cost is usually quite
low. In order to assure quality medical care,
please select hospitals in major Chinese cities
that have VIP wards (gaogan bingfang) or high-
level hospitals that have a special department
to receive foreigners. The charges are higher
in these facilities but they feature up-to-date
medical technology and physicians who are
both knowledgeable and skilled. Most of these
VIP wards also have English-speaking doctors
and nurses and may even accept credit cards
for payment.
5 Beijing, China
In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong
Kong there are private medical facilities set up
to treat people from other countries. Western
trained doctors staff some of these facilities,
and some have a doctor on staff 24 hours a
day. Generally these facilities handle minor
emergencies, routine medical care and some
relatively simple surgery. Language is likely to
be a problem at the ordinary Chinese hospitals
so it would be advisable to be accompanied
by a person who speaks Chinese. Payment
for care is usually expected when services
are provided. If you are hospitalised, please
contact your insurance company or EF within
the first 48 hours.
It is always advisable to bring enough medica-
tion to last through your trip. Be sure to carry
it with you rather than trusting it to checked
luggage (many frequent travellers bring a
double supply of medication and pack each
in different bags). It is also advisable to carry
extra prescription sheets written by your
doctor (with the generic names) in case you
need refills during your trip and to show at
customs as proof of the medication’s identity
and necessity. Always remember to check the
expiration dates on all medications, whether
they are from home or abroad.

Erika Travel Insurance
Because security is EF’s number one priority, we
have negotiated a comprehensive tailor-made
travel insurance package for EF students with
Erika Travel Insurance, an international insur-
ance expert. The policy protects you against ex-
penses incurred through accident or illness, and
provides coverage for loss or theft of baggage
and personal effects. It also provides coverage
against interruption of your EF program due to
illness as well as liability and legal expenses.
The EF staff is trained to assist with your Erika
Travel Insurance questions and claims. When
you are sick or injured the last thing you want
to do is deal with such issues. Let us help you!
11. Activities & ExcursionsExtracurricular activities contribute greatly to
your social and academic success. They not
only help you to relax after a day studying, they
also provide you with an opportunity to meet
and make friends from other classes, other
countries and other cultures. Your school’s ac-
tivities and trips give you the opportunity to apply
your life skills, practice Chinese in real situations
and familiarize yourself with the Chinese culture.
Weekly activities
For more information on what activities are or-
ganised during your stay, please pay attention
to your school’s noticeboard.
The activity staff at your school are here to help
you make the most of Beijing in China. The
Activities Coordinator can help you plan your free
time by organising a variety of EF events and ex-
cursions, including some of the examples below.
z Panjiayuan Curio & Antique Market: This is a
good place to find folk art and handcrafted
items. The market has around 3,000 booths
covering 50 hectares - a scene made more
hectic by the presence of almost 10,000
market workers and up to 50,000 bargain
hunters. Visitors can also find a good selec-
tion of antiques, many of which are not as old
as one is led to believe. Panjiayuan is a fun
day out - an experience - whether you buy
anything or not.
z Wangfujing Shopping Street: Wangfujing, a
seven hundred-year-old commercial street,
is located to the east of Tiananmen Square
and stretches from the Chinese Art Gallery to
Dongchan’an Avenue. It houses a wide va-
riety of shops and boutiques where you can
find all kinds of commodities, some of which
are of world-famous brands. The recently fin-
ished Oriental Plaza (Dongfang Guangchang)
adds even more charm to Wangfujing. Be-
sides modern department stores, the Foreign
Language Bookstore is also in this area. The
Old-Beijing-Street now seated underground,
was built and decorated in Ming and Qing
style. Its famous trademark is the central
well-known stores, selling shoes, caps, silk
cloth, scissors, Chinese brushes and ink-
sticks, jade articles, tea, desserts, pickled
vegetables, roast ducks and countless more
Chinese novelties. The most popular sites for
souvenir photos are the sculptures on both
street sides, reflecting life of the old Beijing.
z Hong Qiao Market: In the northeast of
Tiantan East Road, you are in the thick of
Beijing’s commercial atmosphere. Hongqiao
Pearl Market is the leading enterprise of the
Hongqiao Commercial Circles, alongside
other large markets - a shopper’s paradise.
Weekend Excursions
All EF weekend excursions include transporta-
tion, accommodation and admission fees. Al-
though some trips may include some meals, you
should expect to pay for your own meals. In ad-
dition to our organised excursions, we are more
than happy to help individual students or small
groups plan their time and activities to make the
most of China or neighbouring countries.
12. TransportationBus
Bus transportation in Beijing is cheap and
convenient, however, route information at bus
stops is not posted in English. Passengers can
6 Beijing, China
pay by cash or pre-paid smartcards, which
give discounts. Return tickets or day passes
are not available.
Train
The Beijing subway is easy to use and each
station has English language maps and signs.
Tickets must be purchased from a window and
verified by a ticket man before you proceed to
your platform.
Taxi
Beijing’s taxi transport is fairly inexpensive, with
taxis charging a basic starting fee, followed by
an additional fee per kilometre travelled.Various
vehicles are used and there are a variety of
different coloured vehicles operating as taxis all
over Beijing.

Useful phrases
Hello! (Ni Hao!)
Good Morning! (Zao Shang Hao!)
Good Evening! (Wan Shang Hao!)

Qu EF Xue Xiao!)
Table Manners in the restaurant
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a West-
ern visitor most is that some of the Chinese
hosts like to put food into the plates of their
guests. In formal dinners, there are always “pub-
lic” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but
some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This
is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It
is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat
it, just leave the food in the plate.
15. Adjusting to a New Culture The EF community is more than a group of
students who have come together to learn
Chinese. It is also a multi-cultural group of
young adults who are eager to share their
own culture and learn the culture of their host
country and fellow classmates.
One’s culture is made up of values, beliefs, arts,
traditions and practices of a specific community
or population. Our culture affects how we view
ourselves, how we relate to others and what we
value as important in life. We are often unaware
of how much our culture affects our lives.
You may have already had some exposure to the
new culture you are about to experience. You
may have seen television shows, read books, or
studied in school about China. While some parts
of this culture may already seem familiar to you,
experiencing a new culture first-hand will prove
exciting. You will be meeting students from all
over the world who, like you, are looking forward
to spending a year learning and living a language,
both inside and outside the classroom.
As a visitor to a new culture, you may experience
periods of fatigue and discomfort when you are
uncomfortable. Culture shock is what some-
times happens when we try to meet challenges
of our new culture by using the values, beliefs,
and attitudes of our own culture. As visitors to
a new culture, we must learn that cultural differ-
ences are merely different - not right or wrong.
It is a good idea to bring traditional objects from
your culture to share with other students and
your host to teach them about your country.
Tips on coping with change
Remember that change does not come with-
out some effort! We humans need a certain
amount of stress to motivate us to learn new
ways of being. Learning always involves some
form of change. You should try the following:
z While you might be tempted to surround
yourself with things that are familiar to you, try
not to isolate yourself by being only with others
from your home country. Keep reaching out to
your host, roommates and other students.
7 Beijing, China
z Put off making major decisions such as an
accommodation change, until you feel more
“at home” with the culture in general.
z Talk to us about your worries or problems.
EF Staff are here to help and would prefer to
know about any problem you may have so
that we can help you.
z Set goals, no matter how big or small, and
accomplish them! You will feel good about
yourself in doing so, and you will reduce the
negative feelings associated with culture
shock. For example, set a goal that you will
speak Chinese at all times.
z Remind yourself that you came to this
country to experience a new culture, to meet
others and to explore your new surroundings.
Relax, take a deep breath and reflect back on
the days before leaving your home country
when you were excited about your new ad-
venture. Try to refocus this former excitement
towards your experience.
Keeping a journal
One way to keep track of emotions and
changes that take place over the year is to
keep a journal. By recording your experiences
and feelings on a regular basis, you will be able
to reduce the impact of culture shock. You will
have a record of your academic and personal
progress to look back on in days and years to
come. Be sure to note changes in:
z Language skills
z School performance and involvement
z Campus/host adjustment
z Individual learning and growth
Keeping a journal will help to remind you that
culture shock is truly a temporary phase
of adjustment.
Bring pictures and items from home
If you have room in your suitcases for some
music, a costume, pictures, or some typi-
cal crafts, it would be good to show other
students. We have seen costumes and drums
from Korea, dancing and music from Austria
and a piñata and tortillas from Mexico. Please
bring pictures of your friends, family and sur-
rounding area.
